Google Talk for iPhone Ready

Google has released in the US a new version of Google Talk designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch browsers. In addition to sending  gmail messages from an iPhone, you can now chat with them while you’re on the move, too.

From the iPhone browser,  go to www.google.com/talk, sign in and start chatting. Google Talk runs entirely in the browser so there’s no need to download or install anything.

There are some differences from using Google Talk on your computer. For instance, in order to receive instant messages with Google Talk on your iPhone, the application needs to be open in your Safari browser. When you navigate away to another browser window or application, your status will be changed to “unavailable” and your Google Talk session will be restarted when you return.

You can select from a quicklist of the people you contact most, search your contacts, and manage multiple conversations.
